Affective Computing

We make technology empathetic by developing science-based emotion detection software, putting users' privacy rights at the center.
Our AI-based solutions operate reliably and robustly under variable environmental conditions, bringing affective computing to the application.

By combining technical expertise with know-how in physiology and psychology, we enable our customers to gain a competitive advantage:
Technology that is intelligently tailored to the emotional needs of its users. In this way, we lay the foundation for acceptance and trust in complex human-technology interactions of the future.

 

Affective Computing – from Data to Analysis

Data is the basis for AI-based algorithms.

Therefore, we attach great importance to the selection and creation of our databases: starting with scientifically sound study designs, to the selection of measurement modalities, to the balanced composition of subjects, we conduct studies for data acquisition in our laboratories.

Based on this data, our AI experts train algorithms for the classification of emotional states, evaluate different approaches and implement the algorithms in product-ready software.

Combining our expertise in subject studies, image processing, multimodal data fusion and software development, we offer competencies along the entire development process. Combined with our domain knowledge in psychology, we offer a comprehensive understanding of our clients' target groups. In doing so, we take into account the highest standards of data protection.

Comprehensible Artificial Intelligence

How can the results arrived at by deep neural networks (DNNs) and the hidden logic they employ be rendered more intelligible and explicable?

In the Comprehensible AI (CAI) project group, we are developing methods for explainable machine learning in cooperation with Fraunhofer IIS and the University of Bamberg.
